Alt-Education looks at the stories the right tells about schools: a fight between an evil, indoctrinating government and a far-right freethinking truth warrior, between a frigid cultural Marxist teacher and a loving Christian mother. This book explores the link between education, gender, and far-right metapolitics, and offers insights into the ways in which it circulates and is normalized. Through digital ethnography and fieldwork it explores the production, circulation, and interpretation of these discourses and the ideologies they express, tracing their movement across four groups of women in the US and UK - fascists, white nationalist, Christian nationalists, and Republicans. Although often understood to be opposed to education, the far-right is instead opposed to schooling - and offers its own practices of alt-education. Through media, alternative schools and home education-- the far-right teaches their ideologies of gender and race, knowledge, and power, as well as transmitting alternative histories, sociologies, and conspiracies. From mom's groups to digital discourses about the evils of public schools, social media are key arenas in which women not only teach, but are taught, far-right alternative knowledge. Alt-education teaches reactionary ideology as a timeless truth, normalizing it through discourses of home, family and love. At the same time, alt-education borrows and co-opts the language of critique - normalizing racism, sexism and fascism a kind of alternative knowledge, while making it exciting as a countercultural critique of "woke" liberal indoctrination. The book concludes with a look at this attempt to "speak post-truth to power" as a way of normalizing and spreading their ideology - bringing alt-education to a wide audience as their critiques of "woke" politics spreads across the US, UK, and into Europe.This book is aimed at scholars of the far-right and gender, as well as scholars and practitioners of education. Written in an accessible and engaging tone, this book will be of interest to both researchers and advanced undergraduates.

Lise Vogel is a unique voice in feminist theory. This book collects her best essays, opening a window into the last half century of US socialist feminism. A trailblazer in the 1970s, Vogel planted the seeds for contemporary Social Reproduction Theory with her 'unitary theory' of exploitation and the oppression of women. Along with others, she challenged established views within the academy and movement by insisting that Marxist theory can accommodate not only class, but also race and gender. Today her work is more popular than ever, inspiring socialist feminists to develop inclusive liberatory ideas for the next generation. Collecting five decades of Vogel's work, including long out-of-print material, this collection is a crucial resource for readers interested in the intellectual history of Marxist-feminism and twentieth-century activism.

Technological advancements frequently hinder the progress of women in the business sphere. In our current landscape, the rapid evolution of technology-driven by digital transformation-has created significant barriers to women's participation. This has given rise to new forms of discrimination that often go unacknowledged and unaddressed. The unfortunate reality is that this issue is sidelined in discussions about the economy and the broader implications for employment. We must recognize and confront the unique challenges women face in this technological age, as their exclusion not only impacts them but also stifles innovation and growth in our economy. It is time to advocate for a more inclusive approach that empowers women in the tech world.In this vital context, it is essential to recognize the discrimination and emerging challenges that women will face, although these issues may not be explored in sufficient detail. This work has been thoughtfully created to fill that gap, serving as a crucial reference for those who care about these matters. By shedding light on existing deficiencies, this research promises to enrich future studies and provide invaluable insights for researchers who investigate and evaluate related works. One of the most pressing challenges ahead for women in the rapidly evolving digital landscape is understanding and navigating the economic opportunities available to them. As we enter this new era, women will undergo a transformative journey that demands adaptability and learning in the face of continuous innovation. This work aspires to contribute significantly to these conversations and empower women as they embrace the future.

This book unearths the buried legacies of modern legal thought, exposing femicide's deep ties to the afterlives of colonial slavery, while forging countercolonial paths to justice.In 2018, shortly after the femicide of Marielle Franco, a Black feminist council member in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil elected far-right authoritarian Jair Bolsonaro as president. Within months, femicide rates surged by 220%, laying bare the possible entanglements of white supremacy, misogyny, and representative democracy. This book challenges mainstream analyses of gender-based violence, drawing on critical Black, Indigenous, queer, and feminist thinkers, alongside oral knowledge from frontline activists across Brazil. Through a collaborative and transdisciplinary lens, it exposes femicide as a colonial legacy, as well as the law's failure to confront it. Questioning the colonial foundations of political-juridical order, the book forges new pathways for justice, reparation, and redress-beyond the necropolitical order and toward a politics of vitality.This book will appeal to academics, researchers and advanced students with interests across a range of disciplines, including critical legal studies, critical black studies, gender and feminist studies, critical criminology, legal anthropology, social movements, Brazilian studies, and anti/post/decolonial studies.

Elder Women's Wisdom: A Reclaimed Paradigm of Leadership examines seven leadership 'signatures' and weaves an iterative, layered model of women's ways of wisdom that honours the voices of elders. The book advances limited feminist research on ageing, reconstructs archetypes, and advocates a pioneering paradigm of sage-ing. The years 2021-2030 have been identified as the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing. This curated collection of research is intended to bridge academic and popular press discourses about women's leadership, ageing, and wisdom as well as advance a Call to Action aligned with UN efforts to bring visibility to societal beliefs about eldering. Integrating an intersectional lens within leadership theory and practice disrupts the prevailing leadership paradigm that remains skewed toward a male leadership prototype. This shift provides leaders with the ability to bring their whole selves to leadership and secure a sense of belonging.

The envisioned future is one, where societies thrive on commons, planetary care, feminist economies, and pluriversality. The narrative charts a course toward a feminist democracy, rooted in nurturing the planet and safeguarding future generations. Governance and networks stand as keystones in shaping these utopian landscapes, where pioneers and movements play vital roles in sculpting the contours of tomorrow.The book offers practical tools for strengthening collective feminist practices that can restructure power pathologies. It unfolds as a captivating vista, where the echoes of the past harmonize with the aspirations of a feminist future.

It also investigates how demographic factors such as age, marital status, education, income, and family size influence women's financial capability. Furthermore, the book delves into the financial wellbeing of women and explores how addressing their needs can contribute to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).By examining global initiatives aimed at empowering women economically, this book offers valuable insights for policymakers, financial social workers, scholars, and organizations dedicated to advancing financial wellbeing for women and promoting sustainable development.

Feminist Language and Discourse in the British Suffrage Press: Words as Deeds offers a comprehensive exploration of feminist discourse, focusing on the dynamic and evolving concept of gender within the context of British suffrage periodicals from 1907 to 1914.Though their motto was 'deeds, not words', the movement for British women's enfranchisement exploited the press to convey its message and aid the campaign. Adopting a (socio)linguistic perspective and a discourse analysis methodology, the book focuses on the theme of gender and on the development of feminist counter-language and counter-discourses using articles taken from the three major suffrage publications: Votes for Women, The Vote, and Common Cause. Through a combination of corpus linguistics and discourse analysis, the study of the interplay of language, representation, gender, and power provides insights into how these publications challenged and reshaped societal norms, with a specific focus on the case of medical misogyny.Feminist Language and Discourse in the British Suffrage Press: Words as Deeds challenges traditional views of suffrage activities, and is of value to researchers in fields such as feminist studies, language and gender studies, and periodical studies.

This book analyses how reproductive rights and sexual freedoms, the political sphere, women's role in the workplace and sexual violence were positioned and depicted by three magazines with very different demographics: Spare Rib, Cosmopolitan and Woman's Own. The 1970s and 1980s were a time of enormous cultural shifts for women: The rise of the feminist Women's Liberation Movement, ground-breaking equality legislation and greater reproductive freedoms impacted on most women's lives in a plethora of ways. However, until now there has been little attention to how those changes were disseminated to and framed within women's media. This is because most media of the period were run by men, for men and focused on men's lives. However, within women's magazines, the changes in women's lives and feminism itself were framed, debated and contested. This volume features unique interviews with the influential women who produced the magazines (Spare Rib, Cosmopolitan and Woman's Own) and who give insights into the national and international events, ideologies and constraints which impacted on their content creation.This book will be of great value to contemporary historians, students of gender and cultural studies, media scholars and those who are interested in finding out how feminism influenced their parents' and their own generation.

The black woman worker, argues Keona Ervin, is the most important worker in the development of racial capitalism from slavery. Ervin here looks at unions, protests, kitchen-table discussions, laundries, and all arenas of life to find examples of how black women workers' refusals constituted core challenges to racial capitalism and structured black feminism. The book brings out the breadth of struggles black women have been engaged in-from union, civil rights, cultural work, housework, environmental justice, AIDS activism, and more-that black women workers have been engaged in.In a series of accessible, narrative chapters highlighting specific moments of black women's refusal, from slavery to #Black Lives Matter, Refusal argues that black women workers' refusals can guide us all toward emancipation.

Centered around personal reflection and storytelling, this volume weaves together narratives of educational resilience, kinship, and auntie support to highlight the importance of Indigenous perspectives in all learning spaces.Bringing together the experiences of community members, students, mothers, aunties, and academics, it shows how the voices of Indigenous women and girls represent their ongoing survival within spaces often focused on assimilation and erasure, and puts forward a new way of thinking about the value of Indigenous knowledge. It does so using a storytelling approach which celebrates the experiences of Indigenous girls and women, and expands the definition of education to include more informal spaces of learning in order to address the contentious relationship between Indigenous communities and formal schooling. This celebration of presence accentuates and amplifies the degree to which Indigenous peoples and communities have successfully retained their values and authenticity, despite ongoing attempts at assimilation by the dominant culture. As such, it centers Indigenous perspectives in ways that affirm the experiences of Indigenous women and girls in educational spaces, and demonstrates how girls and women have overcome existing structures to ensure the survival of Indigenous knowledges, cultures, and authenticity.Presenting an innovative new approach to supporting Indigenous girls and women, and centering the need to create new modes of scholarship and thinking that exist outside of the academic system, this book is designed for scholars, faculty, graduates, and educators with interests in education, Indigenous studies, anthropology, sociology, and women's studies.

This study examines caricatures as they appeared within popular Parisian magazines in mid-nineteenth century France at the time of the 1867 World's Fair.Chapters compare the comic mockery of several of the most important satirists of this time, including Amedee de Noe, or "Cham" (1818-1879) as he was more popularly known, and Honore Daumier (1808-1879). A major theme within the analysis is how these caricaturists secretly used argot (street slang), as documented in two slang dictionaries by Parisian litterateur, Alfred Delvau (1825-1867), within their comic images to carry hidden encrypted messages in order to evade the censorship of the day. The book focuses primarily on caricatures of Chinese visitors who were part of the 1866 diplomatic visit to Paris and images of Chinese at the 1867 Exposition Universelle, showing how the satires which were published by Cham used argot to create highly sexualized images that were often racist in nature. In contrast, the volume proposes that Daumier used slang in his caricatures to challenge racism and to make secret reference to current political leaders and politics.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, media studies, and communication studies.

Teaching LGBTQ+ History: Practical Strategies and Voices of Experience offers insights, concrete strategies, and lesson plans for teaching LGBTQ+ history in high schools. With essays from educators, historians, and activists, it speaks to the power and significance of LGBTQ+-inclusive curriculum and its greater necessity at a time when the LGBTQ+ community is both more visible and increasingly targeted.Across the US, challenges exist that prevent teaching LGBTQ+ history, including curriculum censorship laws prohibiting discussion of the LGBTQ+ community in schools. However, there are also grassroots movements in the US that are generating quality LGBTQ+ history curriculum and implementing them in secondary schools. This book shows how integrating LGBTQ+ content offers myriad benefits for all students, including making history more relevant and representative, and reversing years of silence and erasure in the sources, topics, and narratives that students encounter throughout their education.Combining insights from changemakers with practical strategies and lesson plans for teaching LGBTQ+ history, this book will equip educators with the rationale and resources they need to effectively integrate this history into the curriculum. It will also be highly valuable for pre-service teachers, particularly within Social Studies Education and Social Justice Education.

'Cremin explores the relationship between theory and life with intelligence and wit' - Juliet Jacques, author of Trans: A Memoir What if the feminine holds the power to undo the foundations of domination itself? In The Spectral Woman, the feminine is revealed as the negative force capable of abolishing the rigid categories of sex and gender that sustain class exploitation, androcentrism, and repression. With bold, incisive arguments, this book explores the transformative potential of feminine jouissance-a force that unsettles identity thinking and offers a radical path toward emancipation. Rejecting the myths of diversity, difference, and escapist individualism, Ciara Cremin confronts the illusions of liberal humanism and the sacrifices demanded in the name of progress. Instead, it argues for a utopian feminine praxis that challenges the psychic impairments perpetuated by capitalist, colonial, and patriarchal systems. In a world haunted by the spectre of the trans-feminine figure, this work sheds light on the profound potential to decolonise the unconscious and reimagine a future beyond oppression. The Spectral Woman is a bold manifesto for those willing to interrogate the structures that bind us-and envision their abolition.

Traditional Midwives: Cross-Cultural Perspectives is a pioneering work that delves deeply into the worlds of traditional midwives, shedding light on their practices, roles, and the immense cultural value they hold within their respective communities wherever they are still allowed to practice. This book not only champions the significance of traditional midwifery but also critiques the (often misguided) global and national initiatives that seek to move all childbirths into biomedical facilities, which, as the chapters in this book clearly show, are frequently under-equipped and under-staffed and provide substandard care that can often be obstetrically violent and abusive. The push to move all births into such facilities disregards the quality of care that traditional midwives provide and undermines the trust and rapport they have built within their respective communities. This global push is particularly detrimental to rural women because biomedical facilities are often located far away from such communities, thereby making access to maternity care difficult, if not impossible, especially for rural women, and because almost no biomedical practitioners are willing to live and practice in such remote areas, thereby leaving thousands of (especially rural) women without any maternity care provision.Other critical points that this book addresses are the failures of the governmental efforts to train traditional midwives in higher-level skills. As the chapters in this book also clearly demonstrate, the essence of traditional midwifery lies in experiential learning, where skills are passed down through observation, practice, and mentoring. By bringing to light the multiple challenges that are currently being faced by traditional midwives and the shortcomings of biomedical facilities, this book serves as a crucial reminder of the need for culturally safe and sensitive community-based maternity care that traditional midwives are fully able to provide. It is an essential read for policymakers, healthcare professionals, students, and for anyone who is interested in traditional midwives and their practices.

Prophets and Witches offers an exploration of female prophecy and witchcraft during the political and religious upheavals of the English Revolutionary period from 1640 to 1660.The religious fervour and End of Days enthusiasm precipitated by the Civil War opened the door for unprecedented numbers of women to achieve visibility and spiritual authority as prophets. However, as self-proclaimed instruments for God's spirit, these women were also exposed to the charge of demonic possession or witchcraft. This book explores both the gender and political elements at work in the construction of the prophet as a witch. It uncovers the role of witchcraft in the dominant political and religious debates and power conflicts of the times which provides a crucial framework for the female prophet's transformation from divine instrument to demonic witch. This study of the early modern prophet and witch reveals the fluidity, and at times close relationship of these assumed opposites.This book is a valuable resource to students and scholars of early modern England, the English Civil War and all readers interested in female religiosity, prophecy, witchcraft, demonology and early Quakerism.

The allure of the city is powerful, but not universally accessible. For many women, it can be exclusionary, exploitative and dangerous. In The Feminist Art of Walking, Morag Rose shows how women can and do claim their place in the public space. Setting off to explore cities and towns across Britain, she traces local histories and personal stories and attunes herself to the wider resonances of women's rights amidst alienating capitalist cityscapes. Craving connection and comradeship, she discovers a unique and inclusive approach to walking, celebrating diverse women who transform walking into an art form and act of resistance. By experiencing the pleasures and pains of urban exploration, she shows us how to reconnect with and become enchanted by our streets.

Embracing Queer and Trans Frameworks in Educational Research reflects on a decade of conversations about research, thinking, and life, exploring how to navigate the ethical complexities of working with queer and trans youth as queer and trans scholars. The authors introduce the framework of "showing our work," an intimate approach that revisits the often-invisible processes behind what becomes the 'final' product. This lens offers a fresh, rarely told account of how research is made, highlighting the messy, reflective, and transformative moments that shape scholarly inquiry.By showing their work, the authors invite educational researchers to engage with these moments in their own practice-thinking alongside the discussions and decisions that shape methodological choices. They argue for the vital role of queer and trans methodologies in qualitative educational research, positioning them not just as subject-specific tools but as critical lines of analytical inquiry. Drawing from their own research with queer and trans youth, both within and beyond educational spaces, the authors revisit and reimagine pivotal moments that challenged, provoked, and ultimately shaped key elements of their published work. Through this process, they create a generative space for methodological reimagining, situating ethnographic work with queer and trans youth as fertile ground for new ways of knowing.This book is essential reading for students across disciplines, as well as qualitative researchers engaged in youth studies, critical methodologies, sociology, and queer and trans studies.

"In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children." With these words, women fell into a world that saw them as cursed. They are still falling. Today, we define women by suffering: menstrual cramps, mood swings, excruciating childbirth, painful first-time sex. Femaleness itself has come to look like an illness, so now, women seeking solutions for their ailments are dismissed. And as our pain is sanctioned, our pleasure is deemed tricky, complicated, burdensome, elusive. This reality is not our destiny. These myths are misreadings not just of ancient texts but of women's bodies. Our pain is the product of oppression imposed for centuries. That's the real curse. Yet amid this oppression, our pleasure has survived. Once we recover who we were before the fall, we can revel in the blessings of our bodies. Ecstatic births, positive periods, sublime sex, orgasmic lives - this is who we are behind the cultural curse we've been under. Through inspiring stories from the author and a diverse group of blessed people, Eve's Blessing charts many paths from pain to pleasure so that you can walk your own. If you've drifted away from paradise, this book will guide you back.

Nadar, Sarojini, Gender, Genocide, Gaza and the Book of Esther: Engaging Texts of Terror(ism). (Rape Culture, Religion and the Bible) 150 pp. 2025:5 (Routledge, UK) <746-147>

Gender, Genocide, Gaza and the Book of Esther: Engaging Texts of Terror(ism) bridges the gap between gendered and geopolitical analyses by interrogating both the sexual and ethnic violence embedded in the Book of Esther. While much scholarship has examined the potential genocide of the Jews in the narrative, far less attention has been paid to the Persian "retaliation genocide." Framed within decolonial feminist perspectives, this book shifts between the harem-the royal institution where women were sequestered for the king's use-and herem, the practice of divinely sanctioned warfare that justifies the extermination of an enemy. Rather than operating as discrete forms of violence, the book argues that the harem and the herem are co-constitutive, revealing how gendered and ethnic domination function in tandem. Through a combination of narrative inquiry, inter-textual readings, critical discourse analysis, and theological assessments of both the biblical text and its contemporary reception, Gender, Genocide, Gaza and the Book of Esther invites interpreters to consider the larger frameworks of ethnicity and racialization within which hermeneutics of sexual violence take place. A close literary reading of Esther is paired with an analysis of its contemporary geopolitical appropriations, particularly its use in Christian Zionist rhetoric. The explicit invocation of the Amalekite extermination trope by Israel's prime minister in October 2023 to justify attacks on Gaza, underscores the enduring political afterlives of texts of terror. This book contends that a feminist reading of Esther cannot limit itself to the analysis of sexual violence but must extend its critique intersectionally, engaging with the broader necropolitical economies that structure both ancient and modern deployments of biblical violence.

Does gender matter in global climate change? This timely and provocative book takes readers on a guided tour of basic climate science, then holds up a gender lens to find out what has been overlooked in popular discussion, research, and policy debates. We see that, around the world, more women than men die in climate-related natural disasters; the history of science and war are intimately interwoven masculine occupations and preoccupations; and conservative men and their interests drive the climate change denial machine. We also see that climate policymakers who embrace big science approaches and solutions to climate change are predominantly male with an ideology of perpetual economic growth, and an agenda that marginalizes the interests of women and developing economies. The book uses vivid case studies to highlight the often surprising, gendered impacts of climate changes.This new edition is a thorough update that includes revised and new chapters and new material that takes account of the significant advances in climate research, environmental and social theory, and the many political and social challenges posed in the wake of US elections, Covid-19 pandemic, and rapidly changing climate and environment. The new edition also takes account of important social and cultural movements that resist challenges to women's rights and advocate for gender, sexuality, and racial justice. This book will appeal to students, researchers, and academicians interested in environmental studies and gender studies. It also will be of interest to policymakers, activists, and others involved with environmental policy and governance.

Positioning the teen girl as a figure possessing exceptional power with the potential to instigate change, this book examines the "extra-ordinary" girl as she exists under neoliberalism today.Through a combination of textual and cultural analyses of figurations of girlhood in popular culture, and qualitative research group interviews with teen girls, the author emphasizes the importance of listening to real teen girls whose perspectives and values might not match those attributed to dominant cultural models of girlhood. The book explores contemporary girl figures and figurations of girlhood, on and off screen, highlighting how girls who are not in the public eye negotiate standards of exceptionality in relation to their own experiences of social power, while also defining the importance of care and connection to their relationships and personal values.This book is a unique and comprehensive combination of methodological and conceptual approaches to cultural, historical and sociological analyses, while exploring questions of feminism and the speculative fiction genre. It will appeal to girlhood and feminist studies, film & media studies, child and youth studies, humanities, cultural studies and social sciences.

This book explores evocations of and allusions to sexual desire in Soviet cinema, 1919-1991.By deploying several lines of investigation - from the cult of the masculine, strong body in Stalinist cinema to the shifting signification of the naked body (male and female) in post-war cinema, and to the display of a sexualised body in the late Soviet era - the book establishes the extent to which Soviet cinema actually did reveal sexuality. It also explores how external political and social factors impacted representation. Overall, the contributions challenge the narrative of Soviet cinema as an art form where the representation of sexuality was taboo and outlines shifts in the concepts of the naked and sexualised body, of sexuality and sexual relationships.This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of film studies, Slavic and Soviet studies, cultural studies, politics, and gender studies.
